For those in California, our union, University Professional and Technical Employees (UPTE) has blown the whistle on the inadequate avian bird flu testing in the state. There is only one lab rated in the state of California at UC Davis that is responsible for timely testing of poultry and dairy. You can read the article at the following: https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2024-12-01/lab-worker...

We had an informational picket at UC Davis two weeks ago, and you can find more details at our website at https://upte.org/news/upte-members-at-uc-davis-blow-the-whis...

The University of California system has failed to keep the health and safety of our food supply in safe and working order, with lab testing sometimes waiting weeks for turn around, causing avian bird flu to spread and causing mass culling of chickens, and tainting diary, and increasing the likelihood of animal to human spread.
UPTE members at CAHFS are raising concerns about severe understaffing and unsafe working conditions that jeopardize their critical role in testing for diseases like Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N1).
After five out of seven lab workers quit since January due to inadequate compensation and a lack of support, the timely and accurate monitoring of our nation's food supply is at risk, potentially leading to catastrophic outbreaks affecting poultry and human health. Your can support us by urging CAHFS management to address these issues and protect the health and safety of our communities.
You can help by emailing the Dean of Veterinary Medicine, Dean Dr. Mark Stetter to support staffing and safety at CAHFS using the following link: https://upte.org/cahfs
I was unable to find a global font-size option, isn't there any? I can modify the fonts individually, but that's not what I want.

I also wish for a global contrast option (preferably where the day/night toggle is). The default night theme is too low contrast for me right now, coming from a brightness that is perfect for HN.
- "so I’m not sure who is ignoring it or what we should be doing differently"

It's the US government who's ignoring it. They're acting as if they have inverted priorities—putting agricultural industry interests first, as well as short-term politics and optics.

The federal vaccine effort seems to at the token-effort level, on track to repeat 2020 all over again. I'm inferring this from looking at budget figures: Warp Speed spent (I think) $18 billion in 2020, while the current efforts total just 1-2% of that [0] (mostly one single grant to Moderna). That looks to me on track to repeat 2020: a year or more without a (fully deployed and mass-produced) vaccine—tens of trillions in losses in the future, because government leaders aren't proactive-thinking enough to invest a few billion today.

(Here's a remarkable figure from [0]: the federal government is currently spending 7x more subsidizing livestock farms for their economic hardship from HPAI than on developing vaccines for it).

Another major failing is the lack of effort (again mirroring 2020) on monitoring early outbreaks. The pandemic strain of HPAI doesn't yet exist. It's likely to come into existence, if there's large numbers of HPAI human infections, simultaneous with infections with human-adpated influenza strains—that's where you'd get the highly transmissible pandemic strain, from genetic crossover with ordinary flu.

But: most farm worker HPAI outbreaks are going unnoticed [1,2]. There's very little concerted effort to monitor and prevent crossover infections in the high-risk sectors, on livestock farms. (Again, I feel we're repeating 2020: prioritizing short-term industry considerations over public welfare—as if it's more important to minimize hardship to the dairy industry, than to prevent a pandemic). Sure; there's token government efforts that look like they're helping keep farm workers safe—but empirically they're simply not working. A complication is that this industry hires large numbers of undocumented/illegal farm labor: people who deliberately avoid interactions with government officials; as well as people who avoid or are priced out of healthcare access.

Fantastic post already by the first example. Meanwhile I can think of big brain developers who have laughed at me "because you assigned to a variable what you use once"... good luck with your career

Because nobody championed another language for the browser.

Good news is we have WASM now, so you can write backend and frontend code in basically whatever language you want.
>The F-16 inerts it’s fuel tank ullage space with Halon.

why can't they use nitrogen ?
I'll respectfully disagree on the performance front.

Any flash storage has two main components: A controller and a set of flash chips, and a third component enters to the picture when connecting these two: number & nature of channels.

Starting from the controller (and channels), beside the obvious PCIe generation, there are some other factors. DRAM support, NAND support (not all NAND is the same!), number of channels, and the speed of these channels. A DRAMless SSD will suffer after its "pseudo-SLC" cache runs out, and the performance of the drive will generally suffer if the number of channels can't absorb the traffic coming from the PCIe side. Here, to have a top notch SSD, you need to have a good/fast controller with DRAM support, and enough channels with enough speed to absorb all traffic requests, so you can get use of the premium NAND chips you bought.

Next, we have the flash layout. Flash chips vary in speed, density and drive. A high density flash chip might be slower, or a flash chip might require higher drive, resulting in higher temperatures in general. In some cases, instead of populating all channels, a manufacturer might decide to populate a few channels and leave the rest unpopulated, creating a big but slower SSD.

Beyond that, there are other considerations like over-provisioning at flash level, "soft SLC cache" size, wear leveling capabilities under sustained load, etc. etc.

For example, an enterprise SSD comes with the "same" TLC chips, but over-provisioned 5:1 or 10:1 (10TB flash for 1TB capacity)

Now, let's see some real-world examples:

- Kingston NV2, NV3: A budget SSD with great capacity and price. DRAMless, no channel number guarantee, and might come in with TLC or QLC chips. Burst speeds are OK, will make 90% of the people happy, but slows down in long transfers and under heavy load. Runs cooking hot in both controller and flash side.

- Kingston KC3000: A higher end drive with part/channel guarantees, handles sustained load better, runs way cooler, ironically.

- Samsung 980/990 Pro: Samsung's higher end drive. Runs cool, sustains speed all over due to DRAM and tons of channels and vertical integration of controller + NAND.

- Samsung T7 Shield: Looks like an bulky 1.8" drive, but it's selling point is it can sustain 1050MB/s writes wihtout even slowing down until it's full. Never gets warm.

So, flash drives comes in all shapes and sizes and with specifications and capabilities all over the place. A WD Blue and WD Black won't perform the same. Same for Sandisk's Plus, Extreme, Extreme Pro series.

This is why OWC was/is the go-to 3rd party SSD provier for Macs for quite some time. They tune their drives similar to Apple's and very similar to what OS expects as behavior. It's not slap some controllers and flash chips on a PCB, change three fields in a firmware and sell.

Flash storage is black magic at this point, and thinking every box is the same is a big mistake.

The vast number of godot engine issue reports aren't junk bug reports. The ones that are ai are so rare that they're notable to me, like a rare shiny. There are 100815+ (issues/pull requests).

I'm more curious to see what they look like.
Why is it the responsibility of the universities and not the state generally?
AFAICT navidrome doesn't organize anything itself. In your config file, you just say:

MusicFolder = "/home/vlad/music"

And you're off to the races. The docs even say that this can be a read-only folder, which it is in my case.

> [...] it's simply a non-issue that's unlikely to be on your mind if you're actually getting work done IMHO.

Part of why I get (more) work done is that I don't bother with the near-useless taxonomical exercises that inheritance invites, and I understand that there are ways of writing functions for "all of these things, but no others" that are simpler to understand, maintain and implement.

The amount of times you actually need an open set of things (i.e. what you get with inheritance) is so laughably low it's a wonder inheritance ever became a thing. A closed set is way more likely to be what you want and is trivially represented as a tagged union. It just so happens that C++ (and Java) historically has had absolutely awful support for tagged unions so people have made do with inheritance even though it doesn't do the right thing. Some people have then taken this to mean that's what they ought to be using.

> I've been in the industry for at least 8 years and a volunteer for longer than that, and I'm currently in a role where I'm one of the most trusted "architects" on the team, so I feel like I should "get it" by now if it's really that bad.

I don't think that's really how it works. There are plenty of people who have tons of work experience but they've got bad ideas and are bad at what they do. You don't automatically just gain wisdom and there are lots of scenarios where you end up reinforcing bad ideas, behavior and habits. It's also very easy to get caught up in a collective of poorly thought out ideas in aggregate: Most of modern C++ is a great example of the kind of thinking that will absolutely drag maintainability, readability and performance down, but most of the ideas can absolutely sound good on their own, especially if you don't consider the type of architecture they'll cause.
No, I never said anywhere that chrome should be used. As a matter of fact, I use Firefox myself. My original observation was that Mozilla presents itself as a benevolent non-profit yet behaves like soulless for-profit tech company, abandoning valuable FOSS initiatives and carelessly laying off employees, all while increasing executive pay
I think a cool addition would be to add a light source, and inhibit growth when a vertex doesn't receives light.

Nice, but as long as at least core and minimal standard library is not really opensource, well maintained and first class citizen on linux, it will not get real distribution.

Even C# suffers from that, though it is a nice language.

For a programming language to have success it needs to be

* opensource
* well maintained
* first class citizen on win/lin/mac

Destroying infrastructure isn't automatically terrorism. If Russia bombed people (or e.g. caved in a building where civilians could be expected to inhabit and thereby die in the collapse) then it would be terrorism. Cable bombing isn't terrorism, it's just sparkling warfare.
Yes, most of the web will flat out not work without js. Especially the bit that has lots of users and commerce going on. If your target audience is hermits that don't engage socially online, that don't buy stuff online, and that are stuck in a time bubble in the late nineties when they were young and naive (talking about myself here as well), then this might be the best thing ever. But forget about getting a younger or wider audience showing any interest for this. The web is a content first platform. Interest is content driven, not technology driven. That's why web technology is such a dog's breakfast of meh.

I get the idealism, sentiment, and nostalgia. But the web has always been a mediocre platform, a straight jacket, a bit of a terribly disgraceful kludge. Fixing it by crippling it further doesn't make it better.

The good news is that there are other ways forward. I like what's happening with WASM. WASM fixes browsers to be suitable for running any kind of code. There are some silly examples out there of browsers running emulators with legacy operating systems running a 25 year old browser. Or stuff like winamp. But the main point is that we're no longer restricted to using javascript/css/html. We can now use pretty much any language, any framework, any kind of rendering engine. Browsers can now run hardware accelerated 3D graphics.

Browsers as a virtualization platform are rapidly catching up with Sun's vision of thin client computing a quarter century ago. And just around the same time that the web is rapidly expanding across devices and modalities. Mobile, AR/XR/VR, entertainment consoles, etc.

Browsers are backwards in the sense that they started with a very limited/crippled platform that was then extended slowly and haphazardly over the course of nearly 35 years with enough technology that you can run pretty much anything inside them now.

A more logical architecture would be to start with a minimal VM that is powerful enough to run anything you'd want to run and then run all the rest inside (including legacy crap like CSS/HTML/JS, Flash and all the rest.). Sun had some of the right ideas but got hung up on the wrong technologies.
Ask HN: Pinboard Alternatives for 2025

Ask HN: Best Workflow Management Tools for Scaling SaaS Operations?
We’re a SaaS startup specializing in unique digital products for customers. As we scale, we're seeking advice or recommendations for managing our operational workflow effectively. Here's our scenario:

Our workflow processes digital information through several stages—some automated within our system, others offshored to external companies for manual work.
The workflow can be either serial or parallel, and automated steps may fail, requiring manual intervention.
We need a workflow management tool that will primarily serve our operations team and subcontractors, with these key features:
Reflect the status of each work unit at every stage.
Allow queue reordering at each step.
Integrate with our system via HTTP API, webhooks, or similar.
Include a pull-based dispatch mechanism for subcontractors to work unit by unit, instead of batch handoffs.
Offer monitoring, reporting, and integration with systems like NetSuite, Jira, and Salesforce.
Provide a user-friendly UI for efficient operation.

What tools, frameworks, or custom-built approaches have worked for startups that have already gone through similar operational scaling challenges? Would love to hear your insights, experiences, and advice!
In my example, the first two would reach next level of maturity when they could appreciate the work their peers do and see it to its purpose.
Just a quick note on cognitive load theory: what makes cognitive load difficult is 'germane cognitive load' that comes from learning, that is neither intrisinsic nor extraneous. Getting it right is difficult: often too light interfaces can also be too light on actual understanding. What makes it worse it is nearly impossible to measure how much is extraneous and what is germane.

>In my city folks complain about having to live next to "the poors"

That's exactly what the real issue is almost everywhere in America where there's resistance to changing zoning code. All the other stuff is just strawman arguments so these people don't have to openly admit that they don't want to live next to "those people".
RVs can be repaired or replaced. And if the alternative is expensive enough, it's financially worthwhile to do so.

Combine the two.

By default, return nonsense on all ports. But once a certain access sequence has been detected from a source IP, redirect traffic to a specific port from just that IP to your real service.

I wonder how this might look like, if all animal-based products were taken out of the equation and a purely plant-based food supply-chain was put in place instead.

I'd guess overall agricultural landuse would drop to 1/4th or so due to the huge inefficiencies of animal-based products, but would have to dig for proper numbers at e.g. Our World in Data.

Yep. Same with Plex. I used to run it with 1.2 GHz dual core Intel Atom. I always encode to 128 kbps Opus when I stream my music and I'm not on Wi-Fi. It took about 300-500ms until the music started when I pressed play. The CPU usage was very low even when actively encoding.

The only thing that takes a bit more of CPU is if you have a huge music collection (I have about 2.5 TB), and you do the first metadata and album art scan over the collection. Otherwise you can run these systems with a potato.
In my experience it usually devs that do that to themselves after reading stuff on the internet and thinking “I want to be a professional and I want to show it to everyone.”

Then rules stay and new people just continue with same silly rules instead of thinking if those are really that useful.
Oh yeah, didn't look at the dates. It's maybe dead, then.
> you also need to write it in a convoluted way because, for various annoying reasons, that's what performs best on the computer.

That's nothing to do with hardware. The various annoying reasons are not set in stone or laws of physics. They are merely the path dependency of decades of prioritizing shipping soon because money.
Yes, the solid matter goes into waste containers that are burned up on re-entry of the supply craft. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a reading for the solid waste containers.

I tried to give it a shot a few months back, but the lack of vim bindings were a blocker for me, and seems like it isn't planned yet. Hope to try it sometime in the future.

Back in the days, there was a service called what.cd, which was really nice for music discovery. You had very dedicated music fans, great forums and a daily top 10 of most downloaded music. For many it was the fastest way of finding new interesting stuff.
